Subject: [Leica] What can the LUG do for Haiti?

I've been thinking - one of the reasons that some tragedies are noticed and 
others slip past is compelling images. Kevin Carter's photo of the Vulture 
stands out in my mind. I've been moved and distressed and emotionally 
pilloried by some of the photos coming from Haiti and was thinking that an 
appropriate way for this group to help out might be by finding a photography 
school somewhere in the country, donating some collected funds or equipment 
and helping the people who will be documenting the rebuilding of that place 
in the years to come.

Something like Jeff Mills' Young Haitian Documentary Photographers Group:
